When God healed my body in 1982, He changed everything! He took away fear of death and gave me HOPE of eternal life through a relationship with Jesus. He gave me a PURPOSE for my life! No matter how dreams fell apart, nor how the enemy tried to defeat me, I have “stayed-in-love” with Him […]
Our Father’s Love June 2019
I will always think of the month of June as “Father’s Day” celebrations! I’m grateful to have been raised by a godly father who left me precious memories of our times together. When I was a teenager, he had a weekly radio program and I accompanied his singing on the piano and organ. I shared […]
Mother’s Day May 2019
Once upon a time there was a child to be born. The child asked God, “They tell me You are sending me to Earth tomorrow. How am I going to live there being so small and helpless?” God replied, “Among the angels, I chose one just for you. Your angel will be waiting for you […]
Stones of Remembrance April 2019
Stones of Remembrance: 35 Years of Service Just as God told Joshua before they entered Canaan, to place “large stones” for the Israelites to always remember HIS MIRACLES, so I have lovingly kept some “memory stones” from my own life. This month I celebrate thirty-five years in Aglow Prison Ministry by sharing a story from […]
Grandmother’s Stories March 2019
STORIES MY GRANDMOTHER FIRST READ TO ME were from a book titled STREAMS IN THE DESERT. She and the author were friends in the early 1900’s. Mrs. Cowman (the author) was a missionary and Grandma was a “Lady Evangelist.” May this poetry from her book encourage us TODAY. ONE DAY WHEN WALKING DOWN THE STREET, […]
Valentine’s Day…God’s LOVE 2019
Valentine’s Day is a special day that encourages us to express our love and affection to others. It gives an opportunity to bring more meaning to people’s daily lives. This “Valentine month” began with two vivid examples of God’s love in my personal life. My second great-grandson was born on his Daddy’s birthday, February 4th, […]
Blessings and Love in New Year 2019
When a new year arrives, I usually think of stories from my early days of teaching. It was through Primary School & later Piano Students that God often spoke to my heart. I’ve loved my story of a child who erased his paper so much he made a hole in it. I will always remember the […]
Christmas Carols December 2018
Last year, as I stood “between three grads” in the living room of our Southern Area Field Coordinator’s home, singing Christmas Carols together, my mind was fixed on another Christmas…thirty years ago in a tiny Prison Chapel. It was December 1984. The Chaplain at CRC asked if I would come and lead the women in […]
Jesus Calling November 2018
As I walk through another November, I am keenly aware of our Country’s month for special Celebrations and Holidays. Yet this year has been extremely difficult for many people…my own life and family included. During this time, the Lord gave me a Scripture, along with excerpts from the devotional Jesus Calling to uplift my heart. […]
Chaplain Sandy September 2018
With special Love & appreciation to our Chaplain Sandy One of my sweetest rewards of 30 plus years of prison ministry is watching God “fulfill His destiny” in lives of volunteers. They serve on our teams in jails/prisons and God often promotes them to positions of leadership on the Aglow Prison Board or other ministries. […]
